A member asked:
I have a long oblong fracture in the shaft & neck of 5th metacarpal (its split diagonally & slightly shortened). my doc says nonsurgical treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fracture care: Oblique, non-displaced fractures of long bones can be treated conservatively and heal wonderfully. You will have it re-evaluated clinically and with radiographs on your follow up visit to determine the rate of healing and to ensure there has been no rotation of the fragment. Get well soon!
